Abstract
An apparatus comprises a respiration sensing circuit configured for coupling electrically to a plurality of electrodes and for sensing a respiration signal representative of respiration of a subject; a signal processing circuit electrically coupled to the respiration sensing circuit and configured to extract a respiration parameter from a sensed respiration signal and determine a signal performance metric for the sensed respiration signal using the respiration parameter; and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to: initiate sensing of a plurality of respiration signals using different electrode combinations of the plurality of electrodes and determining of the signal performance metric for the sensed respiration signals; and enable an electrode combination from the plurality of electrodes and for use in monitoring respiration of the subject according to the signal performance metric.
